The Best Of Hilary Scott Live! (Volume 1)

An extraordinary musical treat!
If you didn’t make it to these performances, here’s your second chance!

This album captures the true live sound of Hilary Scott and The Hilary Scott Band!  Complete with Hilary’s song introductions and comments, this CD is a fan favorite.

Hilary Scott has this to say about the album:

“For the past couple of years, The Hilary Scott Band has been blessed to have soundmen, fans, or our very own Bill Adams record many of our shows. This collection is made up of some of the best from those shows – and there is still plenty of material for future volumes! If you’re holding this disc in your hands, you’re probably a fan of live music and understand that the charm of live shows is that it’s uncontrolled and authentic; you may hear the occasional blurp of feedback, fluffed note, or my silly banter, but mostly you will hear a group of musicians doing what they do best – bringing music to people in the moment, and getting precious energy back from the crowd. Enjoy!” – Hilary Scott, May 2006
